High-fat feeding promotes obesity via insulin receptor/PI3K-dependent inhibition of SF-1 VMH neurons
2011
The authors report that insulin activates PI3K signaling in SF-1–expressing neurons of the ventromedial hypothalamus to regulate their firing frequency. Mice with insulin receptor deficiency in these neurons show protection from the metabolic effects of exposure to high-fat diet.
